Another great day in the Midwest. But it is raining and storming, so I couldn't get out of the car. We started touring around downtown Columbus. Did you know that Columbus is the Capital of Ohio? The capital building is a pretty building. There are cannons in the front of it.
Not far from the Statehouse is the Ohio Theatre. It is a very old theatre that was restored. It is a beautiful building and the inside is very cool. Dodie likes to look at the ceiling. I could look at it for hours.
There is a topiary park downtown. A topiary is when you cut bushes into shapes of people, things or animals. It is very cool.
Columbus is named after Christopher Columbus. They have a replica of the Santa Maria, one of Chris' boats. (Downtown Columbus is in the background)
German Village is the oldest and largest German settlement in the United States. There is a very cool park where they have Shakespeare plays in the summer. They have good restaurants here too.
Another cool place is COSI-the Center of Science and Industry. It is fun place to go and play and learn. The building is HUGE and looks over the Olentangy River.
There are many more places and things to see, but it is storming. Tomorrow, we are having a going away party and cook-out for me. You will get to meet Dodie and her family and pets. See you on the Blog tomorrow, and at home in Alabama next week.
Your friend in Ohio,
Flat Stanley
